I have a black gold Yellowstone. I think it makes more sense in Royalex. The Yellowstone is kind of short so works best on rivers or...

I still have a Mohawk odyssey 15, though it doesn’t get much use. I love the bomb proof nature of royalex boats. And with solos the...

A lot of posts here with folks looking for advice on composite boats – especially solo river runners. My first thought on seeing these...

As of West Virginia native I offer my sympathies. Sadly pollution isn't confined to Ohio. I spent a year in Ohio after school. I was...
